WHEAT O SHEEP.

The live Stock Journal, London,
England, reports experiments b. DR..
Voelcker at the Woburn experiment
al farm to determine the relative
value of wheat in comparison to
other grain food for f~attening sheep.
The experiments continued over
1O6 days and the cost per pound of
increase in weight when fed the
different grain food ebay and roots
being fed to all alike), was as fol-
lows: The cost when fed linseed
cake was 1.39d per pound; on linseed
cake and undecorticated cotton seed
cake, 1.38d; on wheat, 1.O0d; on
oats and barley, 1.39d; and on oats
and split beans, 1.66d. The wheat
was by far the cheapest of the foods
used. 1t was found that the sheep
would eat a larger quantity and do
better on the wheat when fed whole
than when made into meal. The
value placed upon wheat was 963
cents per bushel, and at this price
it proved itself cheaper food when
fed for mutton than any other used.
